i have made a project that has an access database.
i have manage to connect and retrive data from the database at aspx and at code behind.
the problem is that i do not want to write the connection string at code behind again and again but to get it from the web.config as i am doing to the aspx pages.
this is what i do at aspx pages:
<add name="dataConnectionString" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|data.mdb;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=data
@123" providerName="System.Data.OleDb"/>

I have a db connection string 'ApplicationServices' defined in the connectionString section of web.config and 3 Entity Framework connection strings which have the provider connection string attribute with the same connection string as the one in 'ApplicationServices'. Is there a way to reference connectionString in 'ApplicationServices' for the provider connection string attribute of the EF connection string in the web.config, rather than providing the connection string all over again?

View 1 Replies Background: I use SQL server 2005 developer edition and visual studio 2008. Visual studio 2008 is running on a local machine with Vista business edition. SQL server is running on a remote server using Windows server 2003. Both computers are within the same domain.
Problem: First, I used the server explorer to connect to the SQL server. Everything works as desired. Then I write code to do the same thing. I keep getting the following error message:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid)
However, I used the exactly identical connection string as the one used in the server explorer. So connection string should not be the problem. In addition, I tried the test code in MSDN, which tells whether my domainusername can flow the network. It turns out the user name is fine. I also went to the SQL server management studio and found the login for my computer is NVCWeihao while my computer login name is NVCweihao. I am wondering if this uppercase letter really affects the connection.
I am preparing for an Access2007 db conversion at the beginning of the year and would like to know what the best process would be for connecting to the sqlserver2005 database. I have read about adding the connection string to the web.config file. I have also read about using ADO.NET and put the connection information into a class and not the web.config file.
I would like to hear from others as to what you have used, are using, or plan on using for a webapp (vs2010), and why so I can get an understanding.
I have an ASP.Net website running on IIS7. The Application Pool is set to ASPv4 Classic.

My question is, when I want to connect to SQL using a "trusted connection" in the Connection String, what user will actually be passed into SQL?
I thought it would pass my logon details, but it is coming back with an NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON error, which seems to point towards it not passing in my logon.
on VWD 2005 this code works fine, but on 2008 it says I haven't created an instance of the object. I want to convert the object connString (a connection string) into a string.

Using TableAdapters I wanted to find an way to get the connection string out of the web.config in production, and override the. . . .
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings
In order to pull a connection string from (a method, a web service, or what ever) just not the web.config.To return a connection string not from the web.config?
I know we can make the connection string of a table adapter public and change it when we access the table. I want one place (the ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings) change to pull the connection string from another method, just not the web.config. I do not keep connection strings in the web.config and would like to override this method.
i want to ask about the best place to put my connection string in my web application and also how to encrypt it?

Been doing web pages for years using html code and css. Recently decided to try asp.net and love it, probably because I'm an old C, C++ programmer. Every time I do a project the need for a database seems to come up which I've had no luck in setting up. So far I've worked around the need for a database by using text tiles in the App_Data folder. But this time I need a bunch of different text files or one text file and a lot of code finding the right entry. In short I believe a database would really fit here.
Can someone give me a "step by step" on accessing a database. I have an ip address my web host says I'll need. I believe the key is writing the connection string. I've been to connectionstrings.com and was unable to interpret anything there into what I need.

I need to create a repeat region area where I display the Area as a heading and then listing the cities within that area.
I can achieve this using a gridview and nesting one inside another using this tutorial: [URL]
But I really need the ability to customize the page that only a Listview offers. So does anybody know of a good tutorial to do this?
Note I'm Using MS Access for the datasource of both City and Area tables.

I am writing a web app for work. The users who are using this app will not be using the same connection string- for example, we have about 40 customers whose data resides in their respective database. The goal of this app is to be able to query the database for a given customer without having to go in and modify the web.config connection string (obviously, because that will change the connection string globally across users- I want the users to be able to have their own local connection string to be used by the app). is this possible?
